MANSFIELD — The 45th episode of the News Man Weekly podcast has dropped.

In this week’s episode, Miss Mansfield Grace Riegel joins us to discuss the upcoming Miss Ohio Scholarship Program in June.

A staff sergeant in the 179th Ohio Air National Guard Cyberspace Wing based in Mansfield, Riegel shares her journey from Lexington High School to military service, her passion for advocating for students with dyslexia, and what it means to represent her hometown on a big stage.

Source Media journalist and self-proclaimed Grace Riegel fangirl, Mariah Thomas also joins us for the lively discussion and to receive some life lessons from Hunnell. 

Hunnell is also joined by executive producer Zac Hiser and video producer Grant Ritchey. They discuss a packed news week which included ongoing sexual abuse investigations at Faith Life Church, a new Cannabis dispensary in Mansfield, updates on the West Park Shopping Center and much more. 

Special thanks to our sponsor, Relax, It’s Just Coffee — because every good day (and every good podcast) starts with a great cup of coffee.
